Re: Altering subject of email in a pop3 mailbox

Thanks, Nobody Special. You like filling people with confidence. We all have to start somewhere don't we? I am starting this completely from scratch and it will be quite a while before I put this into service. However thanks for the information on mail boxes. I don't have much knowledge on them because they are all run by our hosting provider. If you could point me to somewhere where I can find more information out on mailboxes I would be most grateful. Many thanks, IG Nobody Special wrote:

POP is a protocol used for a client to retrieve emails from a mail box. There are not pop3 mail boxes. The types of mail boxes are mbox

and maildir.    You cannot modify a message using the pop3 protocol.

I think you are the last person I would want writing a spam filter because you don't seem to know how mail is stored to begin with. On 2/22/06, IG <php@selectperformers.com> wrote:

Hi all. Tried to find this and can't find any info. I am writing a spam filter to run over multiple pop3 mail boxes which will work on keywords and Bayesian. With a very high score the filter will simply delete the email, with a med-high it will back the email in a 'bulk-mail' folder and delete it from the mailbox. with medium score I was wanting it to append the keyword [spam?] to the subject line and keep it in the pop3 mailbox. I can't work out how to do this in php. Can anyone help me on this one? Is it possible to alter a subject line (or body for that matter) of an email in a pop3 mailbox?
